I'm using a Gigabyte H77m-D3H in a rebuild. Never had any problems with this board for the last 4 years.
Just put the motherboard in a new HTPC case with a new PSU. I noticed that my SSD was running really slow so I went into the BIOS setup and selected "Use Optimum settings", saved and restarted. First time it blue screened when starting WIndows10, reset and said it woud run diagnostics to fix the error. Reset and bluescreened again. After a few restarts the PC would not boot into BIOS anymore.
It's now at the point where I plug in power and press the power button and it goes through this cycle;
1. Fans spin up for 20 seconds, no video output at all, shuts down.
2. Fans spin up for 5 seconds, no video output at all, shuts down.
3. Fans spin up, after about 10 seconds the Boot up screen flashes for 1 second and it goes into a screen which says "GIGABYTE - UEFI DualBIOS", then shuts down.
then goes back to #1 and does it all over again.
I've unplugeed all peripherals, all memory, the CMOS battery, tried to reset the CMOS, no key presses change the BIOS menu choice on the third part of the cycle. Tried a different PSU, tried putting it back into the original case, tried removing all of the RAM, after all of this the issue is exactly the same.
Feels like this is a corrupt BIOS from all of the tinkering around before, this motherboard has a dualBIOS and if I could just get back into the BIOS settings screen I could get it all working again.
Where do I go from here?
